I see that most of Linux Device Drivers for the wifi (802.11) , are
implemented by placing a Logical Link Control to match an Ethernet
(802.3) formatted packet to the below 802.11 MAC protocol
implementation.
My question regards the matching in packet size:
Standard Ethernet frames must not exceed 1500 bytes of size; max
802.11 packet size is 2304 bytes. How is this handled by the LLC ?
Isn't it that pkt size is cut off on the MAC, even if set to 2304
bytes in configuration options of the wifi board.
